On Sunday night a brewed a beer with an OG of 1.067. I doubled pitched two vials of WLP007 because I forgot to make a starter. The next morning there were signs of fermentation, and when I came home from work that night, the blowoff was going crazy.
I put my carboy into my swamp cooler to regulate the temperature, but I seem to be getting inaccurate readings. My fermometer strip is reading 72 degrees, but the temperature of the swamp cooler water was around 46. Is is possible that my fermometer is simply broken?
Also, is it worse for the beer to have fluctuating temperatures or just a high fermentation temperature overall? I've had great success with this yeast in the past, but that was fermenting around 64. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
